Sig

Well I have been working on a new Signature, and I need your opinions on which image you think looks best, excuse the size of the images, I will be resizing them once I am nearing completion of all 4 images (one for each character on my main account).

Anyway here they are, you can just post a number or you can tell me which one you think looks best and why:

Note: These are just my ranger ones I will be adding my other professions after
1:

#1 - 2
#2 - 8
#3 - 3
Thanks in advance.

RE: Sig

I like #1 the best, but I'm going to make one suggestion. You missed the background between the legs of the ranger shooting, you might want to remove that.

RE: Sig

I like #2 the most... #1 and #3 are both too busy, especially #1. The rightmost arrow in #1 jumps out WAY too much, and in #3 the actual character looks too... Um... Static I guess is the word I'm looking for. Despite the fact that it's an action shot, it looks like a still-frame.

So yeah, go for the simplicity of #2. There's great beauty in simplicity.

RE: Sig

like 2 the best, but you might try and find a better way of blending character with the bg. i dont like that you dont have full opacity. it disturbs my i to be abel to se the trees behind the character. but other then that go for #2

who would have thought that CPU and MOBO's could burn... or atleast they got toasted pretty good

Yeah I have around 600+ different Barrage shots, its so hard to get the enemies to stand right where u want them so that Barrage fires in a nice even pattern ;)

RE: Sig

I like #2. #3 would be good but the arrows need alot of work. they dont convey that feeling of motion and the blending needs to be better. Get the arrows to warp the air around them slightly as they would in real life and you'll have yourself a neat sig. Also the arrows have to be smaller if they are to the sides and more blurry since peripheral vision isnt as clear as regular vision.

Um... Are you sure of this? In real life or in the movies? ;-)

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be sarcastic here. I'm merely asking if this is a verified fact, since I've always thought that the "Matrix Ripple FX" are an invention of the movie industry. :)

EditEdit:

What I mean is this; a solid object moving through a fluid substance causes ripples and currents. A fact.
The question is that whether or not these currents are visible to the naked eye, since as far as I'm concerned in the case of air being the said substance, it would require either the alteration of the light bending abilities of the air, or a dustlike substance being mixed with the air in order to be able to see these local pressure changes.
I might be wrong though.

RE: Sig

Running under the less is more rule, no, 2 is my choice for standing out and not looking too complex. Also depending on resize you might blur the arrows a bit on the others.

I like number 2 more than the others, but I actually prefer your current one over the other three...

EDIT: Suggestion - If you want a really good action Barrage shot, where the creatures will actually stay still for you - then head on over to the Battle Isle, and shoot the dummies.

RE: Sig

#1 is a little bit too busy. #2 I usually go for the less is more school of thought but for the sake of a little more orginality I prefer #3, I would make the text a little lighter so it can be read a little easier.

I would remove the drop shadow and go around the edges with the 'blur' tool just to help the character blend in a bit more. Overall though they look great the colour scheme and background is well chosen for your character, look forward to seeing the finished product. At the end of the day its what you like that matters, its your sig :-)

#3 gets my vote

You are both right and wrong. Since the arrows are frozen in time the air AROUND the arrows would be slighly warped but not the air stretching back behind them. and when i say slighly i do mean slightly. Also the arrows would be blurred because they are still in motion even though stopped and the eyes cant process something moving at that speed.

Yeah I have around 200 or so shots from that area, but you can only target 3 enemies at a time :(

Thankyou all for your ideas and contributions, so far it seems no 2 is the most popular choice, if so then I will base my other characters around that one.

Im not sure about that bow. Which, in my opinion is the problem with the bow shots. If you could somehow "update" the bow shots to look better I think that they would be much better. There isn't much going on in the second one which makes it less interesting but still, it looks good :)

actually, I like all three o'em!
What I would change though:
I'd try to make the text "Back Up" more visible. Now it fades to the background a bit too much.

Edit: I'd try to do a three-tone blend instead of two: white-black-white.

They arent bad for rough sketeches. They just need a bit more work around the edges to make the characters blend in a bit more.

Edit: And IMO the poses on the ele and monk are kind of modest and well boring. The ranger has a flashy pose but the other 2 are kind of just standing there.
